The neuromuscular junction, as
the name indicates, acts as a
bridge between the nervous
system and the muscular
system. It is a microstructure
through which the process of
contraction is initiated ·
in the muscles by the neurons.
Any changes in the
neuromuscular junction can
result in impaired contractions
of the skeletal muscles.
, Structure
The neuromuscular junction is
a chemical synapse between the
motor neuron and the skeletal
muscle fiber. It consists of a
presynaptic terminal, synaptic
cleft, and a postsynaptic
membrane or cell.
